    HEre is top 10 at 35km. Lel is running well. I think Kirui is punching his ticket to London 2012. Who will be spot #3?

    1 Kipsang, Wilson (KEN) 3 18-39 02:03:55 +00:00 01:42:47

    2 Lilesa, Feyisa (ETH) 9 18-39 02:04:13 +00:15 01:43:02

    3 Kirui, Abel (KEN) 5 18-39 02:04:14 +00:16 01:43:03

    4 Kebede, Tsegaye (ETH) 8 18-39 02:06:15 +01:57 01:44:44

    5 Lel, Martin (KEN) 7 18-39 02:06:15 +01:57 01:44:44

    6 Tsegay, Samuel (ERI) 14 18-39 02:06:16 +01:57 01:44:44

    7 Mutai, Emmanuel (KEN) 1 18-39 02:06:30 +02:09 01:44:56

    8 Gharib, Jaouad (MAR) 11 40-44 02:06:58 +02:32 01:45:19

    9 Annani, Adil (MAR) 17 18-39 02:06:58 +02:32 01:45:19

    re: Queton C.

    At 35k Lilesa and Kirui were 15 seconds back.

    Then 1:30 back to Martin Lel, Kebede, Samuel Tsegay of Eritrea, then a smaller gap to Emmanuel Mutai.

    At 30k they needed 14:35 pace per 5k to get the WR.

    At 35k Kipsgand needed 14:29 pace the last 7k to get the WR.

    I think he just ran a 4:50 so the record won't happen. He now needs to hold on for the win. Unless he falls apart, it's his.

    Kirui and Kipsang are locks for the Olympics if he come home 2:03/2:04, no doubt.

    But I don't want to pick #3.

    Third slot should be given to Geoffrey Mutai. He can deliver and hopefully him and the other two will go 1-2-3 at the Olympics.

    in my opinion if kirui and kipsang both come under 2:04:30, they are both in the olympics. I am pretty sure kipsang will get it but it remains to be seen for kirui but i'll think he will get it.

    Given Kipsang keeps the lead and Kirui finishes in the podium, those are the two on the team. the third will be a deliberation between, G mutai, M mosop and Makau.

    re: Tickler

    Kipsang is on 2:04:26 pace at 40km. He needs to stay on it to get the course record. The sub 2:04 is now gone. He was on 2:03:50 somethig pace at 35km.

    I think they said he had 7-8 seconds on Mutai's time from last year at 40km.

    LEL! Moving up well! He could get the 2nd. I don't think he is in contention for an Olympic spot though.

    Martin Lel is an animal! Can;t believe he is with Kebede for third.
